Latest News Release - Danny Hockton

[mfc: webmaster]

The Board of Directors have received a written transfer request from Danny Hockton. Danny confirms his wish to play at a higher level in the pyramid, and in accordance with Danny’s wishes, the Club have notified all clubs in Conference South, Conference National and Division 2 of the Football League of his availability. Danny’s contract with Margate remains in place until the end of next season and the Board of Directors will require a transfer fee.

 

Further to this, the Council have called for a meeting on site next Wednesday and from that meeting it is hoped that we can commence works in the park.

 

Up the Gate!

Not good news in the first part but I guess if we can get a good fee for him will help for extra players?

 

Bit better 2nd part, fingers crossed for the go ahead.

[ressieyoungster]

thts bad news for the club danny is a very good player!

[MFC Forever]

Agree, not good news and should Danny go (hopefully not but to me it now seems likely) he would be very hard to replace.

[BlueGate Alan]

Mind you Jon Main tried same thing last year and it didn't come of I believe, so we can live in hope.

[ressieyoungster]

well lets hope so! getting 30+ goals in a season is someone we need to keep hold of if we are looking to build the squad for sucess next season

"Further to this, the Council have called for a meeting on site next Wednesday and from that meeting it is hoped that we can commence works in the park."

 

So not as clear cut as Ezekiel made out when pandering for our votes at the meeting.

For what reason have they called for a site meeting, what is their justification?

 

I would say they are stalling ONCE MORE (plus claiming taxpayers money for showing up at another bloody meeting about the football club)

 

EZEKIEL YOU LIED TO US AGAIN

Now I'm really, really negative about our chances-we're f*cked.

Last years failure coming home to roost now. Some of us told you so.

[Gate4TehWin]

Ohh well a shame but not unexpected, i dont blame him after the amount of goals he scored he deserved to be in a promoted team.

It may be worth having a look at Brendon Cass he knocked a few in last season.

[MargateFan]

It is a real shame, but you can't blame him for trying to go as high as he can. I hope he does well wherever he plays.

But a blow to our hopes of a high placement next season, I would say.

[Pagey]

Good luck to him

 

The gate will miss him , just say we get 19K for him, that only equates to £500 per week towards the next seasons budget plus his wages

erm no because main wasnt put on contract till just after the start of the season so you;re wrong there sorry.

[bigtw]

Good luck to him if he gets a move can't say I'd like to work for Trotty in 1 job let alone two like Danny .

 

I do believe a thread was brought up about this a few weeks ago with speculation about Bromley. I said then it would be a good time for him to try and ply his trade at a higher level because he like me probably belives Margate ain't going anywhere.

 

I wonder if Trotty will make stupid comments on Danny if he moves on.

 

[blueblood]

Good luck to DH. We shall miss him but that's football. Some come some go.

[styx45]

i told you 10 days ago and nobody believed me if i knew trotty must have known so he has had a bit more time to look for a replacement

[Ian_Sanderson]

As an onlooker, i can only say it appears DH has been a revelation in a Margate shirt, and with maybe £20K comeing your way its been good business

I was meaning nobody appears to have signed him up despite him being touted around & trialling for higher clubs.

[Ian_Sanderson]

Heard a whisper that he may be in talks with Ebsfleet as Charlie McDonald is leaving to join Gillingham

[I am Spartacus]

You fallen out of your wheelchair again Ian as you seem to have your ear very close to the ground.
